Whitney Sherer(She/Her/Hers)

Whitney Sherer is a licensed professional counselor and trauma specialist who works with adults navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, and life transitions. Her clients often seek therapy to reconnect with their inner resilience, rewrite painful narratives, and cultivate a sense of grounded wholeness. Whitney welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities, offering a warm, affirming space for healing that honors each person’s lived experience.

Her therapeutic approach blends EMDR, DBT, inner child work, and somatic grounding with a deep respect for creativity and client autonomy. Whitney integrates attachment-based and parts-informed modalities, helping clients gently explore the roots of distress while building practical tools for emotional regulation and self-compassion. Sessions are collaborative and paced with care, often incorporating visual metaphors, journaling prompts, and psychoeducational resources designed to empower clients both in and outside the therapy room.

Whitney brings over a decade of experience in community mental health, substance use recovery, and domestic violence advocacy. She is the founder of Whole Soul Therapy, a creative healing platform that offers therapy, branded resources, and community collaboration.

In addition to her clinical work, Whitney supervises LPC associates and designs trauma-informed tools—including journals, workbooks, and client-facing materials—that reflect her commitment to clarity, beauty, and accessibility.

Whole Soul Therapy is based in Salem Oregon, with virtual sessions available to clients across the state. Whitney offers both in person and telehealth sessions, with current availability on Sunday's 9 am- 1 pm and Monday's 9 am-6 pm. Her practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, anti-oppressive, and rooted in the belief that healing is both personal and collective.
